Upon seeing the news, many Swift fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the singer losing the top spot. Some even questioned the existence of the 29-year-old rock band, asking: “Who the f–k is Tool?”

Coincidentally, Swift is also 29 years old.

As the supposed beef resulted in a social media divide between fans of the two acts, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan took to Twitter to join in the fun.

While Lover raked in an impressive 885,000-plus sales in its first week, the singer also offered a variety of different album bundles, including both digital and physical versions.

These included vinyl variants, T-shirts and other merchandise bundles. Not only that, but Swift released four different Target-exclusive CDs, effectively prompting many of her fans to purchase Lover more than once.

Tool, on the other hand, has not yet released a vinyl variant of Fear Inoculum. Its website does not offer T-shirt bundles or any varying exclusives, either — only the CD package itself, which, before selling out, cost fans US$45 due to its “over-the-top” contents.

Now that the album has sold out twice worldwide, it’s going for upwards of $250 on websites like eBay and Amazon.

As reported by Billboard, Fear Inoculum is also a rare example of a chart-topping album that didn’t utilize a concert ticket/album sale bundle offer.

While the news upset a large number of Swifties, Tool fans celebrated the accolade on social media.

It is great that Tool has dethroned Taylor Swift. Tool puts out such amazing music. It's not generic. It's not watered down. I think America needs more bands like Tool. We need more rock music. pic.twitter.com/FpJZ3yZULC
